Some might say that it's insane to demand your friend pay you reparations for getting you fired from your job after you stole from them… and that's because they're right. It is insane to think that anyone owes you anything resulting from the consequences of your own actions.

This woman posted on Reddit's r/AmItheA**hole subreddit, wondering whether or not she was in the wrong for getting her friend fired, who she suspected was stealing from her. This friend had come over to a gathering at her house, and afterward, she had noticed that some valuable books were missing. It turned out this friend had taken them, claiming that he intended to get them appraised for her as a "gift." Not buying it, she filed a police report and submitted it to his work, who fired him. Her friend then demanded compensation for the loss of his job.
